I’m honored to be named Civilian Category III Civilian of the Quarter at Whiteman AFB for the second year in a row! 💙

This recognition is a reminder of the importance of the work we do to support military-connected families. From strengthening school and community partnerships to creating STEM opportunities and helping families navigate educational challenges, our mission is to ensure every child and family feels supported and connected.

I’m grateful for the incredible educators, community partners, and leadership who help make this work possible. The greatest reward is seeing the impact we can make together. It’s a privilege to serve our military-connected families! ✈️

Military-Connected Families + Education = Stronger Together!

I had the opportunity to facilitate 7 professional development sessions for K–12 educators focused on the deployment cycle, and what an incredible experience it was!

As both a military spouse and a School Liaison Program Manager, I love bringing together my personal experiences and professional knowledge to help educators better understand what military-connected students and families experience before, during, and after a deployment.

💙 The photo I’m sharing is especially close to my heart. It captures my son’s reaction to seeing his dad again after an 8-month deployment. He had been so little that he didn’t even know who his dad was when he returned. 🥹

Thankfully, it only took a few days for them to warm up to each other and begin reconnecting.

This is just one example of the many emotions and transitions military children experience. Every family’s story is different, and our schools have such an important role in helping students navigate those changes.

I’m always grateful for opportunities to connect with educators, share real-life perspectives, and explore practical ways we can support our military-connected students and families through every stage of the deployment cycle.

Because behind every service member is a family, and behind every military-connected student is an opportunity for an educator to make a lasting difference! 🇺🇸💙
